Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I originally went for cheaper knockoff and I may have just as well set fire to the money I paid for it. Then I got this (OEM Apple brand) unit which worked perfectly. HINT: use this to hook up iPhone or iPad to hotel TVs. Get a ten foot long HDMI cable which will connect the adapter device to the hotel TV HDMI input and the lightning connector on this will then connect to iPhone or iPad. Then change “input selection” on the hotel TV to match the HDMI input # you have used and the TV will then project what you bring up on the Apple device. You can then project Netflix, Amazon , Hulu or whatever you have on the TV. We just spent two weeks in Maui and entertained ourselves each night with movies streamed from these providers (I guess I’m showing my age if I admit that that’s how I entertained myself at night in Maui for two weeks!). Seriously, you can improve your connection a bit by adding an Apple lightning extension cable (at least three to six feet long) which will allow you to have the source device (iPhone, etc.) further from the TV but this is not necessary just convenient. All the cables easily fit into a large ZipLock Bag (first photo). The second photo shows an “exploded view” of the cabling with the HDMI cable at the top, the adapter in the middle, the lightning extension To the left and below the adapter and the power cable to the right of the adapter. The adapter can just connect to the phone or you can use the (more convenient) extension cord. I was just able to sit on the couch in the condo and run the shows as I wished.
